At some point we all ask the question “Does size really matter?

More specifically though, we decided to look into the relationship between brain size and intelligence. Does size make you smarter? It is already known that brain size does not directly correlate with level of intelligence. If this were the case, we’d be seeing blue whales enrolled at Stanford. However, recent medical studies at various health institutions have shown that a brain sized normalized to a body mass does have some significance. Interestingly, physical complexity of the brain does contribute to a higher intelligence level.
